1648 graphics processed

Happy to be sitting up doing some more old document reading. And thank goodness again for easy colour/balance graphics processing software to make it more readable! Here a testament testamentar (Scottish will and inventory) from 1648. The vast bulk of this 3-page document is a very detailed will. By my 11xg-uncle. Which mentions so many relatives, only some of whom I've figured out. This is related to the academic journal paper I've mentioned recently about the royal secretary (his granddad).

Luckily I like the challenge. It's always satisfying to figure out what something that initially looks like gobbledygook says. And it's an essential part of being a historian focusing on the earlier periods. Only modern historians can dodge handwriting issues a lot.
